[Comparative examinations of different types of soda lime (author's transl)].
Three different types of soda lime (Dräger-Sorb 800, Sodasorb and Tricomed) were analysed both experimentally and in patients for their capability of eliminating CO2 from the anaesthetic circle system. In the experiment Sodasorb was exhausted already after 24 minutes (transmission of 0.6 vol-% CO2) while with Tricomed these data were reached only after 35 minutes and with Dräger-Sorb 800 after 40 minutes. Regarding measurements in patients the soda limes tested showed no significant difference in this field, but again Dräger-Sorb 800 was the best in eliminating CO2 (after a 2 hours application - 1.05 vol-% CO2 after the absorber, that is in the inspiratory gas flow), followed by Tricomed (1.38 vol-% CO2) nd Sodasorb (1.49 vol-% CO2). Considering its prolonged functional performance as well as its lower dust production Dräger-Sorb 800 can be regarded as the best soda lime being available especially with respect to almost equal expensiveness.
